insert-delete key
I need the use of the windows insert/overwrite key. Where is this on the apple keyboard. How can I reprogram a key to do this?
MacPro (original), Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Thanks, Stefan. I was hopeful there was an equivelant key on the Macpro keyboard, but apparently the "help" key is only on the full apple keyboard. There does not appear to be an equivelant key listed for the macpro.
Any other ideas?

Hi Carl,
I associated Mac Pro with Apple Pro keyboard since you didn't tell which one you have.
Here are the other Apple keyboards http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1167
Click on the 'more information links below the keyboard you have to see the key mappings.
Hope it helps

I received another suggstion to try fn optionreturn, but that did not work. However, you can change the cursor in Windows on the Mac from insert to overwrite by entering fn commandreturn. This does work and thus will save me a lot of time.
This was not included in the keyboard mapping help from Apple. They should include it when using the MacBook Pro keyboard with windows.
Thanks. Carl

Use KeyTweak or any other keyboard remapper app to map any unused key for that (I use the ´` key for DEL and remapped CMD to act as CTRL and vice versa).

Hi Carl,
thank you for sharing this information.
Since I don't have a MB or MBP I can not try.
May I suggest to send your findings to Apple via this http://www.apple.com/feedback/ so they can include it.
Take care
Stefan
